Your back plate securing screw is nicely in the middle of its adjustment range👍

The notes say "only CB750" to use accelerator pump on carbs .... probably don't know about the F2 then, and also Keihin made  :)

Yes I though that too .. very complicated carbs too yet the 4 pre-production prototype bikes had 4x modified CL77 carbs sprayed with silver paint!

Not seen anything about the way he came by it ,which is a bit of a shame... but early days yet I suppose. Always nice to know the history after it was shipped to the USA. I guess it must have gone back to Japan at some stage but that's only a wild guess.

Very interesting Ash.

Makes sense that they took it there as soon as something tangible was available to show, what with history of them in USA Honda network asking for a multi cylinder engine to advance from the 450 twin as request from marketing position etc.

Interesting about having a Hyvo primary chain on that one only too. Last development of this bottom end, going into RCB racer, went to gear primary drive with a idler intermediary gear to keep the gearbox rotation in same direction too.

Same method I've always used Ted. I use an old electricians screwdriver with a slight radius filled into the edges to prevent any digging in. I go very, very gently on the carbon followed by some wire wool and oil.

Best wishes to you Bryan in what has undoubtedly been a very tough time. As stated in other posts, this forum really is the best place to let off a bit of steam, we are all life experienced and fully understand the crap life can throw at us. Hopefully all the bad news is now behind you. Thank you again for all the help and advice you have given not only to me but also to everyone else on the forum.
Hopefully the sun will shine on you all from now on.

A quick question for those in the know please?

I’ve got the wiring harness back on the bike and all the electrical components are now connected again.

Does anyone know if this bike will have daytime running lights? When I got the bike, the headlight wouldn’t work on low beam. I’ve stripped and cleaned the switch gear and now the low beam works but the front two indicators come on with a permanent low light. I initially thought that I had got something wrong but a quick check looks ok. I don’t want to start chasing a problem that isn’t there. From what I can see online, it does seem as though they could be?
